From the 1971 appearance of the Skywald Publications character \"the Butterfly\" - the first Black female superheroine in a comic book - to contemporary comic books, graphic novels, film, manga, and video gaming, a growing number of Black women are becoming producers, viewers, and subjects of sequential art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the first detailed investigation of Black women's participation in comic art, \u003ci\u003eBlack Women in Sequence\u003c\/i\u003e examines the representation, production, and transnational circulation of women of African descent in the sequential art world. In this groundbreaking study, which includes interviews with artists and writers, Deborah Whaley suggests that the treatment of the Black female subject in sequential art says much about the place of people of African descent in national ideology in the United States and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information visit the author's website: http: \/\/www.deborahelizabethwhaley.com\/# black-women-in-sequence\/c65q\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeborah Elizabeth Whaley is associate professor of American studies and African American studies at the University of Iowa.
